"My children have seen their mother defiled,” she added ominously, as the children sat in Boyle’s lap."

Since this family is/were White, we hear nothing about them. Not a top priority for Obama. As far as hostages go, White people are the gold standard. No one cares if American Wingbong Mutaderian is captured. As soon as Isis/Taliban starts kidnapping blondes people will take note. Now, as far as sympathy goes, I have little since they were backpacking in Crazy Town- "As for why a man and his pregnant wife would be backpacking through Afghanistan in 2012, the Daily Mail quotes some relatives describing them as “well-intentioned but naive adventure seekers.” They had already trekked through Russia, Kazakhstan, Tajikistan, and Kyrgyzstan before arriving in Afghanistan."

The next children we see her with will be dark-haired and crazy-looking. Here are her parents pleading for their lives:

Why in the world would two sane people hike in that hell hole, oh wait they’re liberals, never mind.

[Jack Hammer]

Sorry, but just how abysmally stupid do you have to be to go for a recreational hike in Afghanistan?

If their IQs were any lower, they’d be amoebae, and there’s no question that they’re obama voters.

[weeder]

This is how the herd gets culled. Reality can be harsh.

[Leep]

Yes , I am sure if they had power and money ..and friends this kind of thing would stop...probably were forced to say this.

[mikefive]

Idiots. What kind of morons take their family “hiking” in Afghanistan? My guess is just 2 stupid liberals who decided to “make a difference” in the $h!thole also known as Afghanistan. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

[Reno89519]

Feel sorry for the kids. The US and Canada should ask for the kids, let the parents figure out their own way home after ‘going hiking in Afghanistan. Stupid.

[Wilderness Conservative]

Only have sympathy for the kids.

[blackdog]

Family must be related to the Bergdahl clan?

[The Truth Will Make You Free]

Joshua’s Wikipedia says he became a muslim in 2009. Caitlin was pregnant when captured, and again became pregnant. Since she was “defiled” perhaps the second son’s father is not Joshua’s, that complicates things. A lot.

[Pollster1]

Every Haqqani should die, but also liberals should learn not to play with scorpions.

[Truth29]

Yes, these are probably two leftist idiots, but the Russian approach would be useful here. Pick up a few of the Haqqani Network operatives and start sending pieces of them back to their HQ until the prisoners are released. If that doesn’t work, well at least a few more Islamists get killed.

[LibWhacker]

If they are ever repatriated, Boyle and Coleman need to be tried for child abuse of the worst kind.

[jaydubya2]

Here they are during happier times. It looks like they lost some weight while being captive.

[rlmorel]

"... some relatives describing them as “well-intentioned but naive adventure seekers..."

Sure do sound like liberals.

[umgud]

If you want to befriend muslims, go to a US college campus. It’s closer, safer for you children.

[Chode]

play stooopid games, win stooopid prizes

[Thunder 6]

There is no cure for stupid...

Well, yes there is, but you don’t survive it.

Regards,

[Mister Da]

Anyone stupid enough to go hiking in Afghanistan deserves whatever happens to them there.

Reminds me of the special guest Sean Hannity had on his radio show a few years ago. It was a woman whose husband was a Saudi national. He divorced her and fled to Saudi Arabia with their children, and she was involved in a custody dispute through the U.S. State Department to get them back.

Hannity painted her in a very sympathetic light, but his listeners weren't buying that bullsh!t. The callers on that segment unanimously berated her on the air and asked her what the hell was she thinking when she married a Muslim from Saudi Arabia.
